That is all you will get IF AND WHEN A BLOCK IS FOUND.  It would be much less than that if you were on GHash because of more miners to share with.  However, they have been finding blocks the last 5 hours that I left Slush.  Working on the 6th hour now.

I went over to GHash when we were in our 11th hour and made a little thus far [Payments high-lighted in red].  I got tired of waiting.

I was actually conservative with my .0019..... per block average shares.  My .0019 estimate was based on 60 PH/s.  However, we were at 57.7 PH/s on average which would make my shares at the .0020 that they are.  My shares would have been at .0019.... if they had 60 PH/s going at the time.  The .0016.... was less because all of my miners were not connected yet when that block was found.

However, changing from one to the other often can hurt you more than help you.  Probably best to stay with one several days before going to another if one chooses to hop from one to the other.

I edited my edit to say they are both approximately the same after factoring in the alt-coin.

I stand corrected.  Not much sleep.  They are more than likely the same when you add on the alt coin.  So, one is just as good as the other.  I suppose one should just play the pool they feel will be luckier for that day, week, month or year.

I suppose we wake up and say, "Which pool will be luckiest today?"

EDIT:  HAD TO MAKE A CORRECTION ON AN ERROR TO GHASH MATH, WHICH SEE:


24 hours is not enough time for the whole picture.  Look at this...


I know they have lower pay outs.  I'm not trying to say their pool is better.  I know it takes approximately 7.5 to 8.0 blocks for every one of ours.  to be the same payout.  I know they find approximately 36.4 blocks each day on average from what I've seen since Sept. 22nd.  This puts them above 100 % Luck since September 22, 2014.  I saw 48 blocks one day and 45 blocks on another day.  I've seen 31 blocks on another, minus orphan blocks.

If you divide 36.4 blocks [each day average] by 8.0 you get 4.5 of OUR blocks found on Slush.

Slush is averaging right at 8 PH/s TOTAL hashing power.  At present difficulty, that is approximately 5 hours 10 minutes time for each block found.  To be at 100% Luck for the week [while maintaining a consistent 8 PH/s] we would need to find [24 hours divided by 5.16666667 hours] = 4.64516129 blocks each day during that week.  Again, that's to maintain 100% Luck.

[Slush] 4.64516129 blocks x .01452471 average shares with 4.67 TH/s = 0.06746962 BTC average each day.  That would be 2.02408860 BTC in 30 days (1 month).

GHash is averaging right at 60 PH/s TOTAL hashing power.  At present difficulty, that is approximately 41 minutes 21 seconds for each block found.  To be at 100% Luck for the week [while maintaining a consistent 60 PH/s] they would need to find [24 hours divided by .68775 hours] = 34.8964013 blocks each day during that week.  Again, that's to maintain 100% Luck.

EDIT:  CORRECTION MADE TO GHASH ON AVERAGE SHARES, WHICH CHANGES ALL NUMBERS

[GHash] 34.8964013 blocks x .00191766 average shares with 4.67 TH/s = 0.06691943 BTC average each day.  That would be 2.00758299 BTC in 30 days (1 month).  ALSO, one also gets bonus alt coins as well.  Such as NMC and others.  It's a bonus all the way.  Not sure how well those coins are doing and their value related to BTC.  Haven't really looked into THAT part of it deep enough yet.

So, YES and NO, according to the math, Slush pays better in BTC in my opinion AS LONG AS it maintains 100% luck.  However, The alt-coin made on GHash more than likely makes up the difference.  They both are approximately the same after factoring in the alt-coin.  So, it's a matter of choosing the one you want to mine for that day, week, month or year.

I wasn't trying to cut down slush at all when I said, "GHash found 12 blocks in less than an hour."  Not at all!  I was just pointing out they were VERY LUCKY during THAT hour.

They took 4 hours to find one block today and 2 hours a couple of other times.

Again, I was only pointing out how lucky they got during a one hour period.

[GHash] 34.8964013 blocks x .00191766 average shares with 4.67 TH/s = 0.06691943 BTC average each day.  That would be 2.00758299 BTC in 30 days (1 month).  However, one also gets bonus alt coins as well.  Such as NMC and others.  Does that make up the difference?  Suppose it depends on how well those coins are doing and their value related to BTC.  Maybe...  Haven't really looked into THAT part of it deep enough yet.

So, YES, Slush pays better in BTC in my opinion AS LONG AS it maintains 100% luck.  I'm convinced to mine on Slush.  My opinion, which everyone is entitled to.

[GHash] 34.8964013 blocks x .00161766 average shares with 4.67 TH/s = 0.05645051 BTC average each day.  That would be 1.6935153 BTC in 30 days (1 month).  However, one also gets bonus alt coins as well.  Such as NMC and others.  Does that make up the difference?  Suppose it depends on how well those coins are doing and their value related to BTC.  Maybe...  Haven't really looked into THAT part of it deep enough yet.

So, YES, Slush pays better in BTC in my opinion AS LONG AS it maintains 100% luck.  I'm convinced to mine on Slush.  My opinion, which everyone is entitled to.

I wasn't trying to cut down slush at all when I said, "GHash found 12 blocks in less than an hour."  Not at all!  I was just pointing out they were VERY LUCKY during THAT hour.

They took 4 hours to find one block today and 2 hours a couple of other times.

Again, I was only pointing out how lucky they got during a one hour period.

I'm a teacher.  I teach telephone technicians how to use their meter to identify and locate troubles.  Have been since July 1997.  I use CAPS all the time went I want to EMPHASIZE something.  It's a habit...  

All I have to say is, READ the content and judge for yourself to see if I'm shouting at someone.  That's all.  

Why be so picky?

Just read the content or ignore it.  It's your choice.

I'm not angry right now.  I'm as calm as can be.  If you want to single me out for what ever reason.  That's fine.  It will not bother me.  I honestly see nothing wrong with using caps for EMPHASIS.

Everyone is entitled to opinion as long as that opinion does not affect ones LIFE, LIBERTY (FREEDOM) or PROPERTY!

Isn't FREEDOM grand?

LOL

Then ignore me or report me.  Your choice!

GHASH found 12 blocks in less than an hour.  8 of which were in a matter of seconds.

That is a person's opinion.  Simply put.

I also know of someone else who said, "Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgement."

Also, look at the content.  Does it look like I was shouting AT someone based on the CONTENT?

In fact, I actually mentioned we cannot see each others face or disposition to LET THEM KNOW I was not angry or ANYTHING LIKE THAT while using all caps.

If you think I'm shouting now when I use caps, it sounds like you are being a little picky, kkurtmann.  Just being honest!  I've already told you I use caps for EMPHASIS not shouting.

I don't see a problem with using caps if I have already given someone the heads up.

Dude, just because caps are used does not mean I'm shouting.  I have yet to shout at anyone on here for any reason.  I only use caps for emphasis.

 

WOW!!!

Doesn't sound good...

I use "Terminal" occasional on my Mac OS.  However, not sure if I'm needing to do what you suggest with my Batch 8's as you have suggested.  I might do it later, in a couple of months, or especially if they stop mining for whatever reason.

Okay, I have MacBook Pro's and Mac Pro.  I do have windows installed via parallels.  That would be the only way to have cgminer on my computer.  So, no, I'm not familiar with that at all.

I'm NEW to mining [September 22,2014] and have no knowledge of how to use cgminer.  So, it's obvious I'm using my S3's "stand alone" without going through my computers via cgminer before connecting to a pool.  At least that's the way it sounds like you are doing it with cgminer.

Ck told me cgminer was built into the S3's one day [Or maybe I misunderstood].  So, I assumed I could do this firmware update in the miner itself.

Please pardon the misunderstanding.

Thank you for your reply.

I'm still wanting to get the S4's very soon.  I would rather keep them here on Slush myself.  However, if I have to point them at another pool and keep my S3's here, I will do it.  It's a shame if that's the case... really is!

Seems like I heard rumors of a NEW LOOK to the home page, statistics page, etc. coming in January.  Makes me wonder if Slush will enable the ability to adjust the diff if the user chooses too when the NEW LOOK comes in January?

Yes, it has been rough!  VERY!!!
